Terry BrooksFollow

I will probly be starting on the Shannara series soon, I liked Landover well enough so I figure I'll like the ones ppl seem to rave about.

No worries, if someone replies to a post w/in 12 months time in this forum it's in a timely manner

From how I understand it the books supposed to be a merge from the one series to the other. Like a prequal to whats going to come up.

I think thats how my book club explained it in its blurb.

I'm a big fan of his books, I've got all of them in hard cover.

I loved all his books I read.

Landover was just a funny piece that was a good sidetrack from the Shannara books.

I haven't read any of the books in the Voyage of the Jerle Shannara and the High Druid of Shannara. I really need to since the Jerle Shannara books are about Walker Boh (Right?). He was my favorite character.


I never really thought the Void/Word series was supposed to be the world before Shannara, though it does make sense (ie, Elves always existed, magic in the real world, etc.)

I thought it was interesting that in Terry Brooks' world, most of the different races were just evolved from humans after the war. (Am I remembering it right? It's been a good 10 years since I've read them).

I'm sorry but to me these books are complete and total ***. I read the first two and there was absolutely nothing redeeming about them to me whatsoever. Goodkind was quickly becoming like Brooks except now that *** finally finished up his series. Unfortunately it was about six books too late. I gave up after the fifth book when there was no ending in sight.

Anything shiny keeps your interest dummy.

Uh huh. Tell it to the shiny metal over there.

I finished Elves of the Cintra recently. I will admit some of his stuff has been meh, but whenever he writes his dark fantasy (Word and the Void) he brings me right back in. His books are worth a look if you can get past the silly names and sometimes the plots are repetitive. I own all his books, but I do have to give an honest opinion.
